Viking

Photographer Colin McPherson is returning to the traditional salmon netting communities of Scotland to record in-depth the industry which was effectively banned in 2019 in response to diminishing salmon stocks returning from the open sea to river. McPherson has long documented the salmon netters and here captured a salmon netter from Joseph Johnston & Sons of Montrose, recovering fish from a fly net on the sands at St. Cyrus, Aberdeenshire. Fishing with fly nets here was discontinued after the 1998 season. PIC: Colin McPherson.
